phox | slow motion | official video

Baraboo, Wisconsin based band PHOX are by far my fav newish carnival band. And now I’ve yet another reason to lose my top hat over Monica Martin & Co. Check out the (band member) Zach Johnson-directed video for the track “Slow Motion“after the jump.  Also, you just may want to grab Phox’s new, sort of, debut self-titled album. The songs are remastered and have a more finished quality than previous recordings (thanks Jeff Lipton).  Keep your eyeballs peeled, the album drops June 24th courtesy of Partisan Records. You can, and surely may Pre-order at: Amazon or iTunes and at www. phoxband.com. Peace. Continue reading “phox | slow motion | official video”

the mercy beat | an act of mercy | sweet | video

The Mercy Beat hits low. They know what we like and they use it against us. Here they offer their track, “Sweet,” in a capsule of cinematic eye-candy. The video is nice but I reckon so is the rest of the aural anatomy that is sure to follow. I hereby dub TMB Seductive and majorly Rockeous. The last word I made up, totally apt. More please!

shabazz palaces | they come in gold | lese majesty lp


 
“Sanity, a visage of my wealth
Lost but always found before the idols that I’ve knelt
Strategy, the only way to cry
Keep it do or die and always think in terms of I
Reverie, some legend futures past
Revelry, instead for it renders hella fast
Capitol, a sound that’s on the rise
It’s slaking unrealized until essence has been razed
Sepulcher, a stage enlived by ghosts
Floating off with bags of the blood encrusted dough.”

– “They Come In Gold” (from “The Phasing Shift” suite) Continue reading “shabazz palaces | they come in gold | lese majesty lp”

All I know is xBANQUETx have a promising sound, and even a promising future solely based on their inaugural track, “Indigo”. Here’s hoping for more. Peace. Continue reading “xBANQUETx | indigo”

Enjoy. Peace. Continue reading “cooly g | in session: mixmag”
